Internal Investigation Services
Uncovering Truth, Restoring Trust, and Protecting Organizational Integrity
When allegations of misconduct, fraud, or compliance breaches arise, an organization’s response determines not only its legal exposure but its reputation.
At SJKP LLP, our Internal Investigation Services practice helps clients respond swiftly, lawfully, and transparently to internal and external inquiries.
We guide corporations, boards, and executives through sensitive investigations involving regulatory violations, employee misconduct, financial fraud, and data breaches.
Our approach blends forensic precision, legal strategy, and confidentiality to deliver clarity in moments of uncertainty.
We believe that an effective internal investigation is not only about uncovering what happened—it’s about restoring trust and strengthening governance for the future.

1. Internal Investigation Services: Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Conducting Investigations That Withstand Scrutiny
In an era of heightened regulatory enforcement, internal investigations must meet the same evidentiary and procedural standards as government inquiries.
Our Internal Investigation Services team ensures that every investigation is conducted with full legal compliance, protecting both the organization and its leadership.
We advise clients on disclosure obligations under SEC, DOJ, FCPA, SOX, and other frameworks, ensuring findings are defensible and properly documented.
Our lawyers also coordinate with regulators when voluntary disclosure or cooperation may reduce penalties and safeguard corporate goodwill.
Our Compliance-Focused Investigation Services Include:
- - Internal audits and compliance reviews
- FCPA, AML, and financial crime investigations
- Whistleblower complaint assessment and follow-up
- Corporate governance and board oversight inquiries
- - Coordination with regulators and enforcement agencies
Our goal is to ensure that investigations uncover facts, not create new liabilities.
